I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

The second phase of the Sea of Human Suffering lasted for three days, and only one day had passed so far, with two more days to go.

Even more people flooded into Zhenba City.

The current security measures in Zhenba City could rival Jingjiu City, with patrolling police officers and various official armed personnel visible everywhere on the streets. Despite that, murders were still frequent; killing had become truly difficult these days.

It wasn't that the act of killing was difficult, but rather the aftermath – escaping or hiding was no easy feat.

Many things were difficult, but if one was willing, even a single strand of hair could be used to kill someone.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Miao had already left Zhenba City, leading Hungry Monkey and the others as they prepared to head to Fengtian City, their hometown. In that city, they felt at home, unlike in Zhenba City where they always had a sense of discomfort.

"Miao, this thing is really great. With this, do we even need that container truck when we go out?"

"Feels like a bit of a waste to buy it."

On the Hell Bus.

Hungry Monkey looked out the window, full of sentiment. He never thought that one day he would step foot on the Hell Bus and feel as relaxed as if he were going home, without a hint of crisis. The vehicle that Miao was using to take them home was none other than the Hell Bus itself.

There were far fewer restrictions on the Hell Bus compared to a fixed event.

Apart from not being able to get off midway, they wouldn't encounter any dangers. The bus traveled as if it were moving through a wormhole, significantly reducing the distance between two places and allowing them to return to Fengtian City in an extremely covert and fast manner.

"Is this the Hell Bus?"

Zhou Shen looked around in awe. He had only entered a fixed event once before, and it was a very low-tier event. Yet, he nearly lost his life that time. He never imagined that one day he could re-enter a fixed event and feel as comfortable as if he were in his own backyard.

Very soon—

They arrived back at Fengtian City, and the Hell Bus stopped right at the entrance of the Eternal Cemetery, getting them home in one fell swoop.

Chen Miao didn't get off the bus immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of shock in his gaze as he looked at the special item in his arms.

'Prop Name': Immeasurable Merit.

'Prop Level': E-rank.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'Prop Effect': When you obtain Merit, it will open up a Merit Store. You can use the Merit Points you've gathered to purchase anything you need from the Merit Store.

'Prop Description': The Buddha spoke about Merit all his life until the last moment when he finally understood what Merit truly was.

'Merit Points': 130,000.

He had a whopping 130,000 Merit Points, which all came exclusively from "Lord Miao".

"..."

Chen Miao's brows furrowed slightly in confusion; while the large amount of Merit Points was a good thing, he didn't quite understand how they were calculated?

If it was for helping the undead return home that awarded Merit Points,

then the other passengers didn't contribute even a little bit of Merit Points to him.

If it was about preventing an impending disaster, then during the zombie siege in Broken Pot City, he also paid a hefty price, but he wasn't rewarded with Merit then—only this time.

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on this anymore.

Instead, he looked at the Merit Store.

There were indeed many things for purchase.

He even saw blueprints for 'Hell Gatling,' an item that could show up at a gunner's auction; here, it was priced at merely 2,000 Merit Points. In other words, his 130,000 Merit Points could be exchanged for 65 'Hell Gatling' blueprints if he wished so.

That could indeed lead to a qualitative transformation for his 'Tomb Guardian' squad.

But soon—

His attention was captured by a particular item, and he couldn't look away.

'Prop Name': Paru Ball.

'Prop Level': B-rank.

'Prop Attributes': Single-use.

'Prop Effect': A device similar to a Pokéball that can subdue a monster or boss. Encapsulating them with the Paru Ball, the success rate increases if the target's level is lower than the player's or if it is severely injured.

Once subdued, they will maintain their Combat Power and fight for the player.

However, they can only fight in the vicinity of the domain and can't leave it.

'Prop Description': This item must be used in conjunction with 'Heavenly Palace.' Capturing humans is inhumane and is not advocated.

'Prop Price': 100 Merit Points.

A great item.

Not only because its effect is good, but its cost-effectiveness is through the roof—a single-use B-rank item is only priced at 100 Merit Points, cheaper than some D-rank items.

Even if he didn't use it himself, he could make a fortune selling it.

But he had no intention of doing that, as there was a line of fine print indicating that this item could only be acquired from the Merit Store; meaning, it was exceedingly rare. At least, he had never heard of anyone owning one. Under these circumstances, it was definitely something he would use for himself.

As for the mentioned need to pair it with 'Heavenly Palace,' the Heavenly Palace is also a prop, more precisely, a construction-type prop.

```

"Prop Name": Heavenly Palace.

"Prop Level": B-Grade.

"Prop Effect": You can choose a location as your territory and continuously level it up using Star Coins, which will bring various effects as the territory levels up, such as building invisibility, Absolute Barrier, and so on.

In addition, you can construct different buildings, each with its own effects, and the size of the territory will expand with each upgrade.

"Prop Restriction": There must be a Tower Defense Master within the territory, the lord has full authority, but the construction of buildings and the like must be completed by the Tower Defense Master.

"Prop Description": A lord should have a territory of their own.

"Prop Price": 100,000 Merit Points.

"..."

Chen Miao glanced at the Paru Ball, then at the Heavenly Palace, and lastly at the Eternal Cemetery before him. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly spoke, "Decided, we're moving!"

After this incident, he had become thoroughly famous. Ordinary people might not know him, but many of the higher-ups were aware of this person.

After all, at a certain moment, he had decided the fate of the entire Federation's future.

Great trees catch much wind.

Establishing his base in the Eternal Cemetery was no longer appropriate, but moving to the city or a villa area was also unrealistic due to the lack of any concealment.

He had actually thought about moving quite some time ago, but never had a suitable new home until the appearance of the "Heavenly Palace" prop, which accelerated his plans. He intended to build his own territory in a secluded location.

Without anyone knowing.

Quietly developing his strength, continuously venturing into secret realms to enhance his abilities.

The buildings could be rendered completely invisible, while the Absolute Barrier would ensure his territory remained undiscovered. By capturing some bosses and placing them in his domain, he could create an impenetrable safe house for himself.

He would come and go invisibly, using the Hell Bus. Just like this, he would develop secretly for a year or even longer. When he emerged again, no one would speak to him as they had before.

Take someone like Zhang Wanlin, for instance.

Although he told himself to stay calm, knowing he couldn't afford to provoke the other party and it was unnecessary to act petulantly, what he really wanted to do was stuff the Thomson in the other's mouth when they spoke rudely.

If the mayor were still alive.

Fengtian City could have been his homeland. Unfortunately, the mysterious death of the mayor, or rather his forced death, meant that Fengtian City could no longer shelter him. The protection offered by the deputy mayor was far from sufficient compared to the mayor.

...

"Really moving? Are you sure?"

Yuan Buping was stunned for a moment before looking reluctantly at the underground, "My underground palace is almost ready, I haven't even had the chance to show it to you. Why don't you take a look before we move?"

"Otherwise, it feels like such a waste."

"I've put a lot of effort into this."

"We're definitely moving," Chen Miao nodded. "The Eternal Cemetery is no longer suitable for us. We must find a place quiet enough for us to develop. Hungry Monkey, you will be responsible for finding this location."

"We don't need to consider transportation or convenience of living; the Hell Bus can fulfill our needs."

"We only need to consider one thing: concealment, it has to be sufficiently concealed."

"Alright."

Hungry Monkey nodded vigorously in agreement.

After giving his instructions, Chen Miao then turned to Yuan Buping, "Where is the entrance to your underground palace? Take us to see it; I've been too busy lately to see what you've made of it."

Yuan Buping's eyes lit up, and he eagerly rushed ahead to lead the way, "Follow me!"

"First, the entrance to the underground palace. I've designed it meticulously to be concealed. Do you see that trap up ahead? It's a 'Heavy Stone Trap', an exclusive construction of my profession, 'Tower Defense Master', made from heavy stones and ropes. Anyone who steps into the circle formed by the ropes on the ground will be hoisted up, unable to escape for a short time."

"It's a rule-system construction."

"Called 'Heavy Stone Trap'."

"No matter the level of a Supernatural being, they will need at least five seconds to break free. If their level is low, or even if they are just an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to break free all night long."

"It's also one of the most common constructions used by Tower Defense Masters. In various online videos, many Tower Defense Masters use different methods to conceal their 'Heavy Stone Traps', and when enemies step into them, they welcome a flood of attacks from the Tower Defense Masters."

"Hmm."

Hungry Monkey spoke expressionlessly, "But isn't your concealment a bit too crude? Just by that tree and these leaves on the ground, do you think that can hide the trap?"

"One glance and it's seen through. Come on."

"Only a fool would step on it."

"It's only because no one has intruded into the Eternal Cemetery lately; otherwise, what good are these traps of yours?"

"That's right."

Yuan Buping nodded with satisfaction, "Only a fool would step on it, but in fact, this isn't the real 'Heavy Stone Trap'. It's just a construction I made to imitate it. Stepping on it won't trigger any trap."

"Instead, one will fall into the underground palace following the reeds on the ground. This circle made of ropes is precisely the entrance I built for the underground palace."

"The most dangerous place is often the safest."
